PAULIN Research Group Major Software Release - 2014

PRG is proud to announce a major release of version 7.0 of FEPipe™ and version 9.0 of NozzlePRO™. This release includes new functionality, significant enhancements to current functionality, and imrpoved GUIs. To see a summary of the new features that will be included in this release, please see the flyer we have prepared by clicking HERE.

Version 7.0 of FE/Pipe™ and version 9.0 of NozzlePRO™ are now available for downlioad for those customers who are current on their software maintenance and support agreements. ("SMS") Customers with a support agreement in good standing may send a request for the new version to softwaredownload@paulin.com. When making the request, please try to inlcude your software license number. (It will have the form FP-nnnnn for FEPipe™ licenses or NP-nnnnn for NozzlePRO™ licenses where nnnnn is a five digit number) If you do not provide your license number, it may delay the process.

If you or your company has allowed your support agreement to expire/lapse, you will need to contact the PRG sales department and first renew your software maintenance and support agreement with PRG before you can request this major new version of our software. To do so simply send an e-mail to the PRG sales group at sales@paulin.com.

A Revolution in Piping Design and Analysis: FEATools™

- Built specifically for CAESAR II Users - To be sold exclusively by Intergraph

PRG is proud to announce that Intergaph is now selling, distributing, and providing support for a new PRG product called FEATools™. This product is a valuable collection of easy to use FEA analysis modules and a CAESAR II FEA "Translator" (conversion program) that will significantly improve designs and stress analysis of piping systems. More information on FEATools™ can be found on the Intergraph web site by clicking HERE.

PRG and Intergraph presented two detailed webinars on this product and technology that presented both commercial and technical information on the value provided to a CAESAR II user. Links to these two Webinars are provided below:

If you are interested in buying FEATools™, please contact your Intergaph sales representative. If you are unable to contact your Intergraph sales representative, please e-mail sales@paulin.com and PRG will have someone from Intergaph get in touch with you.

FE/Pipe™Template-based FEA of complex PVP structures

NozzlePRO™ Rapid single component FEA modeling & analysis

PCLGold™Advanced FEA-based pipe stress analysis

FEA Technology for Rapid Stress Analysis of Piping & Pressure Vessels

Your engineering staff should use FEA analysis if they are involved in pressure vessel or pipe stress analyis and design. Our FEA software uses templates to quickly perform stress analysis of pipes, piping systems, nozzles, tanks, and other components typically found in the pressure vessel and piping industry. FEA techniques are of extreme value when dealing with components or systems that involve any of the following:

Inaccurate SIFs

Inaccurate Flexibilities

Large d/D Geometries

AIV

Many or complex load cases

Path-dependent friction

Non-convergent Friction

Overstressed beam models

Strong temperature gradients

Thermal bowing

D/T > 100

D/T > 50 with high Press.

D/T > 50 with high loads

Corrosion

Nozzles with high loads

Piping with external loads

High axial stresses

Thin-walled pipe

High thermal cycles

High pressure cycles

Glass-lined pipe

Refractory-lined pipe

Hot sustained cases

Seismic analysis

Wind analysis

Other impact loads

Complex loading

High branch stresses

Low cycle fatigue

Complex pipe supports

Use our FEA Technology to Check Your Beam or Shell Model Results

With PCL-Gold, our new pipe stress module within FE/Pipe, you can directly import CAESAR II™ models and apply our FEA technology to do the following:

Confirm the results based on beam models

Determine and apply more accurate SIFs and flexibility factors

Determine whether or not the actual stresses are close to design, code, or customer specified limits

Apply external vessel or equipment models to the piping model to achieve a complete analysis
